The sun is a very interesting style. Its uniqueness lies in the peculiarities of the cut - if you unfold the skirt, then it will take the shape of a circle. Such a skirt is sewn in several different ways. The simplest of these is cutting a circle out of a single piece of fabric; in this case, the product is obtained without seams. Also, a sun skirt can be sewn from two semicircles or made up of several gussets.

This model is usually fitted with an elastic band. For children, this is the most successful option, since such a skirt is easy to take off and put on on your own. For older girls, a sun skirt set on a yoke is suitable.

When it comes time to go to school, parents have to think about buying a school uniform, as now it is widely introduced in educational institutions. In most cases, the school charter allows you to vary the styles of clothing, forcing only to adhere to the color scheme and insignia. A sun skirt in matching colors can be a great way to diversify your school uniform.

At primary school age, girls think not so much about the convenience of clothing as about its beauty. In this case, a sun skirt is a win-win option. Her models are very diverse: young women of fashion can choose between slightly flared and incredibly voluminous silhouettes, between high and low waist, between a naughty mini and a modest maxi.

In adolescence, fashion trends come to the fore. Teenagers strive to be like their idols in everything, be they Hollywood stars or famous athletes.

During this period, children themselves tend to choose their own clothes and should not be too limited in this. If you want to sew a flared skirt for your teenage daughter, it is best to choose the fabric and style along with it. Flip through fashion magazines, go shopping - this is a great chance to spend time together.

The sun skirt will be perfectly combined with a variety of things from the children's wardrobe. To school it can be worn with a turtleneck, shirt, vest or cropped jacket.

In winter, she looks good with a sweater and pullover; you can complement the image with colored claws or leggings. Such a skirt is worn with boots or graceful shoes.

In the warm season, sun skirts can be combined with a variety of T-shirts, T-shirts, light tops. In cool weather, you can put on a short summer jacket, for example, jeans. Any comfortable footwear will do: sandals, sandals, ballet flats, sneakers, etc.

Even if you are a beginner needlewoman, it will not be difficult for you to sew a sun skirt with your own hands. Children's models are simpler in execution, so it is recommended to master this model from them.

The first stage of sewing any item is making a pattern. To make a pattern, you first need to take measurements. We are interested in two sizes - waist circumference and hem length. The length of the sun skirt can be any, so we take measurements, depending on which model you have chosen - mini, midi or maxi.

Next, draw the pattern itself. To do this, we need to draw two circles. The length of the inner circumference is the circumference of the waist plus 2-3 cm of the margin. Based on this data, we calculate the radius of the circle: divide the circumference by 2 and multiply the result by the number π.

The radius of the outer circumference is even easier to find: it will be equal to the desired length of the skirt plus 1-2 cm for edge processing. Having calculated the necessary parameters, we transfer the pattern to the fabric.

The sun skirt can be cut out of a single piece of fabric or sewn from several elements - it all depends on the size of the canvas. To make it more convenient to transfer the pattern to the fabric, it is recommended to fold the material in four, then use a tailor's meter to measure the radius of the inner circle from the central corner. Moving the meter in a circle, mark the fabric. Then, in the same way, we measure and mark the hem of the skirt. For more convenience, before starting work, we advise you to fasten the material along the edges with safety pins.

The next step is to cut out the part. Then we put the skirt on an elastic band (read more about this below), and proceed to processing the bottom. Usually, the method of folding the fabric is used for this, but in the case of a sun skirt, this will not be so easy. Therefore, beginner craftswomen can be recommended to sew decorative braid to the hem of the skirt.

The sun skirt has two fit options - a high belt (yoke) or an elastic band.The last sewing option is easier, so today we will tell you exactly about it.

The elastic can be of any width, the main thing is that the child is comfortable.

We determine the optimal length of the elastic by subtracting 4-5 cm from the waist circumference. We bend the lower edge of the skirt inward to the width of the elastic. Then we process the hem with a seam, not forgetting to leave 1-1.5 cm necessary to skip the elastic. We pull the elastic band inside the belt, sew its ends, sew up the unfinished line.

As another option, we take a rubber band wider, sew both its ends. Positioning the elastic along the upper edge of the skirt, grab it with pins at four points, then pulling it up, sew it to the fabric with a decorative seam.

The skirt-sun with an elastic band for the girl is ready!
